Based exactly on what criteria??! The economomy is shit. The little progress made on employment was paid by the fastest government debt increase since WW2, add to that the FED balance which ballooned out of proportion. Between QE1, QE2, QE3 and new govt debt they spent close to 10 trillion USD. Foreign policy is in shambles, it is non-existing (unless we chose to confuse Ibama popular image abroad with foreign policy) and erratic. The Benghazi response and how this is being ignored by the press borders on trason.




No, it was actually Deng Xiao-Ping with his reforms that opened China to business thus creating the most significant seismic shift in the world economy since the Dutch invented shareholder capitalism. But let us not be too bothered with such insignificant detail.




What exactly is wrong with a political option seeking lower taxation and smaller state?

You can thank large states all over OECD countries for the relative decline everywhere. Very few developed countries with a state machinery consuming more than 35-40% of GDP managed growth higher than 2% for decades now. At the same time the government debt is ballooning out of control. According to Keynesians all this spending on behalf of future generations should have brought enormous progress. However, all I can see is feeble growth and rising deficit spending / debt. It appears all this deficit spending is managing is to prevent the collapse of OECD economies brought about through government misalocation, red tape and transfers.

This is a slow-moving train wreck but eventually this will end. Something that cannot go on forewer will stop. All this debt is going to have to be written off as there is no chance in hell it will ever be repaid. Your pensions and savings (cash or otherwise) will be wiped out in the process and possibly there will be wars as always happens when the states get into this kind of mess.

So the Tea Party guys want this madness to gradually stop and revert back to sound foundations without fiat currency wars and ballooning deficits. And then they are the mad ones..........

I told you on another topic, if I remember right (could have been someone else), you have no idea what you are talking about and hence no idea what is going to happen to you or your children (depending on how old you are and depending when Chinese stop providing vendor finance to the West).

Where else in the world you see a billion of people with same history of success and work ethics? Africa? Latin America?

Mate, we are *****d.

a little fact checking on most of your points would reveal to you that the repuptards have had a larger government than democrats every time they have been in power for decades, the tea baggers main concern is allowing the koch brothers to do what they want and fueling the religious rights hatred of all things, gay, female and black. the rich have never been richer so exactly how are things so ****ed up? oh thats right because bush much like bliar did such a number it will take decades to fix.

you were deluded before the election now your in denial its ok i can sympathise maybe you can now concentrate on ryan in 2016
